Breaking: Wilkerson Will Run As Write-In

Chris Faraone reports from a packed press conference in Grove Hall tonight that state senator Dianne Wilkerson will run as a write-in candidate in the general election, if Sonia Chang-Diaz remains the Democratic nominee following a recount.

Wilkerson has mobilized black ministers and community leaders to help her defend her seat through a sticker campaign, Faraone reports.

Wilkerson will have the advantage, in the November election, of an expected large turnout of African-American voters for Barack Obama's Presidential election.
